Although it’s fairly standard procedure to ask parents to look for missing items to try and sort out what a child may have been wearing when they were taken or absconded on their own, I gotta say: I only have one child and I would be pretty hard-pressed to figure out precisely what said child was or wasn’t wearing if they should ever go missing. Most of their T-shirts are branded with favorite IPs; I have a good visual memory of those and could probably figure out which one was missing if you laid them all out in front of me, but it would still take a while.I'm a bit confused as the news says Sebastian left the house between midnight and 6 a.m. If that's the case, how would the parents know what he was wearing? Unless he always slept in the clothes they said he had on, a black sweatshirt and black pants?
If my kid left in a more generic shirt without a distinctive graphic on it, I don’t know that I’d be able to tell you which one it was. Similarly, my kid’s got a lot of shoes laying around, and unless they left in their very favorite pair, it would take a while to figure out which ones they were wearing. But that would probably be doable.
Pants though? No way would I be able to tell you which ones. Or even what color. I’ve got a semi-photographic memory and I would be really hard-pressed to figure out what specifically my child might be wearing just from searching for missing things if he were to go missing in the middle of the night.
(My kid is autistic and I swear I’m going to go make a thorough inventory of every single item of clothing in their room. ‘Course we also have cameras on every door of our house, but I digress.)
All of this to say: unless SR wore the same thing to bed every night and the parents know it was missing from the house. I don’t understand how they could be so sure of what he was wearing, if it was generic. It’s also plausible that SR was the type of kid who wore close to the same thing all the time, Steve Jobs style, but that’s not the impression I’ve gotten from the available photographs.
MOO, etc.
